CEMTEC A1 BLACK P.U.
LIQUID APPLIED WATERPROOFING
MEMBRANE
CEMTEC A1 BLACK P .U. is a one-component,
P.U.
liquid, cold applied waterproofing membrane base
on polyurethane resin. It is primarily designed to
give superior waterproofing and protection to virtually
all substrate. It reacts with moisture in the
atmosphere and forms an impervious, rubberized
membrane that resists water, oil, fuel and other
common air pollutants. It is an advanced state-of-
art waterproofing system and offers tangible, cost-
saving benefits over conventional sheet and bitumen
based systems.
RECOMMENDED USES
Recommended for use in water storage tanks,
towers, pier, swimming pools and roofs.
Recommended for use in undertile areas such as
bathrooms, kitchens and other wet sections.
ADVANT
ADVANT AGES
ANTAGES
z Easy to apply, by brush, roller or spray.
Eliminates the use of adhesives, sealing
tapes, blow torches, heating kettles
commonly associated with sheet type or
bitumen based system. No need for highly
skilled laborers.
z Does not create mess and objectionable odor
like bitumen based materials. Provides a
seamless (no joint) waterproofing unlike sheet
type membranes whose application is
susceptible to water leak coming from the
seams. No waste and cuttings.
z Resists deterioration from salts, acids, oil,
alkali solutions, gasoline and bacteria.
z Adheres tenaciously to any substrate and
remains flexible under extremes of
temperature, will not crack or become brittle
with age.
z Versatile, nonflammable and non-toxic.
z Due to efficiency in application, labor cost is
reduced and results in shorter completion
time of construction.
z Available in 20 ltr pail unlike bulky sheet type
membranes.
z Maintenance free waterproofing system.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Surface Preparation - Remove all dirt, laitance,
oil grease, wax and other loose materials from the
surface using a stiff nylon or steel bristled brush
followed by compressed air. Voids, crack, and
irregular surface with at least 3 mm depth shall be
filled or levelled with mortar screed and allowed to
cure at least forty eight (48) hours.

Priming - Prepare primer coat by mixing one (1)
part Xylene to three (3) part CEMTEC A1 BLACK
P.U. by volume. For horizontal or vertical surfaces,
apply a thin coat of primer. Airless spraying
equipments may also be used. Care should be taken
that no excess liquid collect on the edges of the
wall converging on the floor. If this occurs, the liquid
must be evenly spread out by brush. Allow to cure
prior to the next coat (usually from 10-14 hours).
Best results can be obtained by limiting the
thickness of the prime coat between 0.3-0.4 mm.
First And Succeeding Coats - After the prime
coat has cured, apply a thin coat of CEMTEC A1
BLACK P .U. (without xylene) starting with the
P.U.
vertical surface. Ensure that the edges of the vertical
surface are evenly coated with P.U. and extends to
the horizontal surface by 100 mm. Disperse liquid
that may collect on the edges. Coating shall be
allowed to cure at least one (1) day prior to the
succeeding coats. Thickness should be limited to
0.5 - 0.6mm per coat. Optimum performance can
be obtained at a total membrane thickness of 1.0
mm including the prime coat.
Caution - DO NOT APPLY CEMTEC A1 BLACK
P.U. ON WET OR UNPREPARED SURFACES.
Smoking should be strictly prohibited during
application.
In confined areas of application, breathing equipment
should be made available for operatives.
COVERAGE
20 ltr will cover approx. 16 m2 at 1000 dry film micron
thickness depending on surface profile.
PACKAGING
20 ltr pails / 20kg pails
LIMIT
LIMITAATIONS
z Not Recommended to be exposed to direct
sunlight
z Open only the required amount of material
that can be used. The material will harden/
cure in the container if not used.
z If R.H. is less that 50% contact CMCI
Technical Dept.
z Solvents in CEMTEC A1 BLACK PU are
flammable. Keep away from heat, sparks,
open flame or lighted cigarettes. Use
explosion-proof application equipments.
